New Zealand is divided into sixteen regions for local government purposes. Eleven are administered by regional councils, and five are administered by unitary authorities, which are territorial authorities that also perform the functions of regional councils.[1][2] Although technically a district but classed as a territory, The Chatham Islands Territory is outside the regions[3] and is administered by the Chatham Islands Council, which is similar to a unitary authority, authorised under its own legislation.[4]
